Product Description:

The Air Jordan XVI 16 Mid (White / Ginger) were released on November 24, 2001, and retailed for $160. they feature a yellow upper constructed from either suede or durabuck, along with blue accents. The Air Jordan 16 (XVI) combines aspects from previous Air Jordans. For example, you can see the patent leather located on the toe from the Air Jordan 11 (XI), the ribbed leather gaiter similar to the uppers of the Air Jordan 14 (XIV). Also, the 3/4 midcut from the Air Jordan 3 (III), and the mesh uppers from the Air Jordan 5 (V). O yeah, this was the year that Michael came out of retirement for the second time to join the Washington Wizards. The only problem with these is traction, as they do not feature enough rubber on the sole. If you find yourself running at top speed and decide to come to a dead stop, you will find yourself sliding across the hardwood. Other features of the shoe include a hidden quick lace system, carbon fibre sheath, patent leather, Zoom Air insoles, and a Jordan shroud, which is a covering for the laces, made from full grain leather.
